above subraedian nervure, — one of the minute uppermost pair often 

 wanting, and one or more of the lower pairs usually coalescent ; sexual 

 discal badges of silky appressed hairs on median nervules and sub- 

 median nervure well developed. Ilind-wimj : transverse stripe well 

 before middle at its origin on costa, narrow, or rather narrow, running 

 obliquely as far as submedian nervure, and terminating acuminately 

 beyond middle ; along inner margin, and also on external border of 

 lower part of stripe, a little pale sulphur-yellow irroration ; subniar- 

 ginal spots larger than in fore-wing (except uppermost pair), the upper 

 spot in each of the five pairs considerably larger than the lower one ; 

 sometimes traces of a sixth pair of spots between first median nervule 

 and submedian nervure ; sometimes a small indistinct anal-angular 

 pale sulphur-yellow spot ; tail black, edged on each side of its wider 

 part towards extremity by a narrow elongate pale sulphur-yellow spot 

 tinged with ochre-yellow. Common to hoth vAngs, an inter-nervular 

 series of pale sulphur-yellow lunular marks, more or less tinged with 

 ochre-yellow, along all hind-marginal edge. Under side. — Hind-icinrj 

 and apical area of fore-icivg 7Jrt/e-5ro26'?t, 7citli Uackish intcr-nervidar 

 rays; yelloivish markings all iialcr ; submarginal spots cidargcd., witli 

 diffused edges. Fore-wing : bosi-disco-cellular area yellowish-white, 

 with four blackish longitudinal rays (of which the three lower branch 

 from one stem) ; outer part of costal margin clouded with whitish as 

 far as apex. Hind-ioing : neuration black ; inter -ncrvidar rays hcyond 

 transverse stripe hroadly hut irregidarly clouded with hroivnisli-black ; 

 rays before stripe (viz., one between costal and subcostal nervures, 

 and three with common stem in discoidal cell) blackish but unclouded ; 

 above costal nervure, from base to middle, a yellowish-white margin, 

 edged near base first with black and then with chrome-yellow ; small 

 anal-angular spot, and marginal lunulate mark just beyond it, chrome- 

 yellow ; immediately beyond outer boundary of discoidal cell, between 

 origins of first subcostal and second median nervules, a more or less 

 indistinct whitish streak, interrupted on nervules. 



Head black, with palpi, two frontal stripes, four spots on vertex, 

 a spot at the back of each eye, and a lateral inferior half-ring round 

 eye, pale sulphur-yellow ; antennae conspicuously tiiyped icith oclire- 

 yelloiv. Thorax black above, with a clothing of yellowish hairs, and 

 two spots on prothorax ; beneath yellowish-white, with a black stripe 

 down the coxa of each leg. Abdomen black above, irrorated with 

 yellowish ; beneath and laterally, yellowish-white, with two longitu- 

 dinal black stripes on each side. 



I have not seen the $, but, from Oberthlir's note and figure above 

 cited, that sex does not appear to differ from the other except as 

 regards the ground-colour, which is duller and browner ; the some- 

 what broader transverse stripe ; and the rather larger and much duller- 

 coloured submarginal spots. The under side is depicted as generally 

 darker.
